Multi-cloud is a cloud computing strategy that involves using two or more cloud services from different providers to manage workloads and applications. It is a popular approach for organizations that want to avoid vendor lock-in, improve resilience, and gain more flexibility and control over their cloud infrastructure. Multi-cloud provides greater flexibility in terms of resource allocation, as companies can easily scale up or down their infrastructure based on their specific needs. This flexibility helps companies to optimize their infrastructure costs by avoiding over-provisioning resources. Managing multiple cloud environments can be complex and require a significant amount of expertise, as well as robust integration and orchestration tools. In addition, data security and compliance become more challenging in a multi-cloud environment, as organizations need to ensure that their data is protected across all cloud providers.
